I made $385,000 online in one year (my story)

Hi there, I’m Emily and I made $385,000 in just one year with online businesses that I am going to share with you in this post. I will share everything in this post from how I got started, what were the main hurdles and challenges and how I overcame those problems, and how Google Adsense, Affiliate Marketing, and content creation business helped me to make money online and payoff all my debt. It was an exciting journey full of ups and downs. There were times when I was crying alone in my room with no hope at all.

I was struggling since childhood as I was not from a wealthy family. My father is a school teacher and he is retired now, and with his salary, only house expences are being managed. We didn’t have enough money to invest in a side business or to do something that would help us financially. So I started worrying about money at a very early age. I was in my 8th grades and all my google search history was about how to make money online and how to get wealthy as soon as possible. Because I was worried about my college studies.

Later on, I came into a video which was about making money with Google Adsense. It was 2018 night. I was watching that video and creating a blog using blogger. Which was a free blogging platform at that time. I created a blog and wrote some posts on that, but did not have any idea that how it will help me to make money. I spent around 3 to 4 months on that but turned it off after not getting approval from AdSense.

Here is what I did Later:

  1. Created first money making website
  2. Learned about Social media marketing
  3. Started getting traffic
  4. Made a Faceless Youtube Channel
  5. Invested my money in real estate and property building

Created First Money Making Website Business

And then I saw a video on youtube about creating a website using .com domain name. I asked my father to give me just 40 dollars to get started. I bought a domain name from godaddy, and hosting plan and started creating a website. It took me a month to do all the job. I was writing posts on that website daily. After 30 days I had 25 posts. I applied for Google Adsense but I was still writing posts on that website. I was searching for ways to get approval fast and to get traffic s well.

My entire youtube history was about getting traffic and getting approval of Adsense. And finally I got what I wanted. I got approved by Google Adsense after three weeks. I was too happy at that time. Now the next step was finding ways to get traffic on my website.

Social Media Marketing for Traffic

I have ability to analyze the market and do competitive analysis to understand what will actually work. At that time I observed that people are sharing their site links to social media platforms and making money through that. My niche was relationships and on Pinterest a lot of guy s were posting pins about relationship tips and guides and I started posting pins on that. I was working pretty hard creating different accounts and posting pins repetitively. Soon my accounts started getting reach in millions and I started sharing my website link on them.

In the first 3 Months I got 1.2 Million visitors on my website. It was great achievement As I got enough money to enroll in a college. But I was giving that money to my father to invest in real estate and livestock business. As he had experience in that, so it helped me to save my money and I didn’t spend it on branded clothing or luxury or anything like that.

Facebook marketing:

At that time I was thinking all about expanding my online business and learning new skills. I learned about facebook advertising and making money by providing marketing services for e-commerce brands. As I already had experience in building websites so it helped me a lot.

Quora marketing:

I also discovered some other ways to get traffic and make money and quora was one of those. Quora heled my blog to get 2.5 Million visitors.

Changed Niche to Business and Finance:

I was making money in the relationship niche and all was from Adsense Ads and Affiliate Marketing (Selling Relationship books). Later I tried different niche which was business and personal finance. I was shocked learning about the Ad revenue. I was losing the opportunity 10x to make money staying on relationship. Business and Finance was paying 15-20 Dollars for each thousand visitors reading my blog posts.

So started creating content on business and finance niches. I was actually working on 10 different niches and I hired a team of blog posts writers for each niche. I developed a digital product as well to boost my earnings. I was implementing these money sources:

  • Ad Revenue
  • Affiliate Marketing
  • Digital Product (Planners, Templates)
  • Consulting Services

Faceless YouTube and Instagram Pages:

Till 2023. It was all a learning phase. In this phase learned too many skills that were collectively able to make me money using different platforms.

I learned:

  • WordPress web design (blogs, business and e-commerce)
  • Social media marketing to drive traffic on websites
  • Video editing for YouTube and Instagram platforms
  • Graphics designing to designing images and thumbnails
  • Business Marketing and Growth skills
  • Diversifying Business portfolio to make money

And all from Youtube Free Videos.

I was working on different editing software to leverage short form content into my business. so I created Niche pages and channels for my websites. I was posting on them regularly. I got enough followers on them to redirect them to my site or to sell them my digital products.

I was making around 15000$ monthly from my online businesses.

Invested my Money in Real Estate and Property Building

As I told you that my father had some experience in property building business after building his own and his brothers houses in the town. So I gave him money to invest in. What he did? he bought land in the town, build a house on that land hiring workers in his supervision and after completing that house in 6-7 months sold to someone. It was really profitable business turned my 120,000 dollars to 230,000 dollars in just 8 months.

He did the same second time and now we are doing real estate as a full time business.

I made $385,000 from online and real estate business:

1- Blogging ($190,000)

2- Youtube Automation ($50,000)

3- Insta Theme Pages ($35,000)

4- Real Estate Business ($110,000)

That is how much I have made in the past year but it took me a lot of time to reach there. I just locked my self in the room working all day. But luckily I was loving that work so I gave it everything I got. If You Want to learn how you can start making money with online business I can Guide you for That.
